Concussions in American football
- ... that eight NFL players have died, with five of them being suicides (most recently being Junior Seau in 2012) due in part to concussions having affected their playing careers and later life?

Junior Seau doesn't belong in this hook, at least not worded this way. He was not known to have suffered many concussions while playing and the results of his brain examinations are not in yet, therefore it cannot be said that PCS was a factor in his death. The article, in fact, doesn't say this, and the hook shouldn't, either. Daniel Case (talk) 16:56, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
- Until I fix this, I came up with 2 alternates (one without Seau's mention and the other without him altogether):
ALT1: ... that eight NFL players have died (with five of them being suicides) due in part to concussions having affected their playing careers and later life?
ALT2: ... that seven NFL players have died (with four of them being suicides) due in part to concussions having affected their playing careers and later life?
